Episode 48: Grabby Goose Gets Greedy

Since the kids have been on summer break, we have been busy playing with all our toys. Sometimes our youngest will snatch a toy from her big brother without even thinking about his feelings. We've been working with her on how she needs to ask first before taking something that she wants. It has taken some time, but she is learning to be patient and use her words rather than just react.
